Got some gold, trying to decide about numismatics vs. bullion for my IRA - what's your take?

• •Alright, so I’ve been stacking a good chunk of physical gold over the last few years, mostly bullion – Eagles,াহ Maple Leafs, a few Krugerrands.
• •I’m sitting on, I'd say, just north of $300k in my overall retirement nest egg right now, a good portion of that being in metals.
• •With the way things are going globally, I feel a lot more secure with something tangible.

Alright, so I’ve been stacking a good chunk of physical gold over the last few years, mostly bullion – Eagles,াহ Maple Leafs, a few Krugerrands. I’m sitting on, I'd say, just north of $300k in my overall retirement nest egg right now, a good portion of that being in metals. I'm a manufacturing exec here in Cleveland, and honestly, the thought of owning hard assets just sits better with me than staring at numbers on a screen. With the way things are going globally, I feel a lot more secure with something tangible.

I’ve been eyeing up some numismatic coins lately though, and it’s got me wondering about the pros and cons for an IRA. Mostly, I'm thinking about the potential for appreciation beyond just the spot price. I know the premium is higher upfront, which always makes me hesitate, but if a truly rare coin could jump 10% or 20% on its own merit over a few years, that’s hard to ignore. For my IRA, I'm trying to balance stability with some growth potential. I'm not looking at super high-end stuff, but something with a good historical story and solid grading. Anyone here gone down the numismatic route for their Gold IRA?

My main concern is liquidity and the higher initial cost. Is the potential extra upside worth it for an asset I might not touch for another 20+ years? I'm already using that Retirement Planner tool on Gold IRA Blueprint to map out my financial goals, and it's been super helpful for visualizing my gold's role, but it doesn't really differentiate between bullion and numismatic gains. I'm trying to figure out if adding a few higher-premium, potentially appreciating numismatics into the mix makes sense for long-term growth versus just sticking with more ounces of plain old bullion.

What are your experiences? Have you seen better returns with numismatics in your IRA, or did the higher premiums eat into your profits too much? Especially interested if anyone here has anecdotal evidence of selling off numismatic pieces from an IRA and how that process went. Thanks for any insights!
